Highlights
  • Parque El Poblado - The tour begins in the park “El Poblado” where we will marvel at the spectacular church in the area, we will board the Graffivans, a truck unique in its style made by the artists of the commune 13 and we will start the tour to the rhythm of music and tradition
  • Comuna13 - After a few minutes touring Medellín we arrived at Comuna 13, a place full of color, history, art and transformation; houses, streets, dwellings, ladders and alleys that over time have become an icon of tourism in the city, as we advance through its scales and alleys we will get to know how one of the most violent communes in the country has become symbol of change, hope and art, we will know their graffiti and we will interpret each one individually and we will delve into their stories.

Then we will start the tour of the largest electric stairs in Latin America while we appreciate the art, rhythm and movement that characterize this community. A few meters higher we will continue to know more about Antioquia gastronomy by enjoying a cream (Paleta) of Mango biche which is an emblem of the sector for combining flavors in a unique, great and fun way

  • Escaleras Electricas De La Comuna 13 - As we continue advancing between history and life we will arrive at its viewpoint, where there is an ideal place to take pictures and we will also enjoy a dance show that demonstrates the rhythm, passion and personality of the young people of this wonderful commune.

A few steps higher we will sit down to rest while we listen to the improvisation of artists who build freestyle songs based on the names and the different destinations of the tourists who visit them. A moment of relaxation, fun and art that will make you vibrate in the most own style of the commune.

  • San Javier - We will reach the final part of the tourist route of the commune and we will begin to make the descent in which we will make 2 last strategic stops
    The first where we will enter the coffee museum, and we will know the process, the history and the types of coffee that exist and at the same time we will enjoy a coffee prepared with a pressing technique that highlights its flavor.
    Our last stop will be made at the “Neon House” a spectacular place, full of light, color and art that when closing its doors begins to shine and makes our imagination fly.

Then we will return to the vehicle to return to our starting point but not before doing one last to have a final gastronomic experience where we will eat a typical Antioquia empanadita that is a fried product created from corn and stuffed with meat and potatoes.

Commune 13, an amazing place full of history and culture! - The Amazonian is a person who knows a lot about the history of his country and can easily share it with all visitors in a clear and enjoyable way. Besides that he is a very cheerful boy, fun and always be on the lookout for the whole group. I recommend it 100% to be your Guide, plus it is an excellent dancer 🤭

The view is worth it - The trip was amazing and the vibes were great. The challenge is the small hike up but once you reach the escalators it’s easier. Wear comfy shoes and clothes.
